Tin packaging is often synonymous with Christmas tins, whether it’s the tub of sharing chocolates, the packaging for the latest trending skincare giftset, or the cake tins filled with baked goodies for family and friends to enjoy.
The downside of presents under the Christmas tree, is the sheer amount of single-use & non-recyclable plastic packaging that overflows wastebins outside every house on Boxing Day. Tin is the perfect choice for gifting products as it goes a step further than disposable packaging; not only is it a beautiful way to present the contents, it is reusable, making it an extra element to the gift that can be treasured for years to come and hold special memories. Tins are for life, not just for Christmas!
Simple classic Christmas tins will always be timeless, but there are so many fun shapes & additions to tins that can make the products extra festive and stand-out on the shelf.

CUT-OUT CHRISTMAS TINS
It’s possible to include cut-outs to add another dimension to your tin. This might be to add a window to give a sneak peak at what’s inside, or to make the tin multi-use as a lantern. Lantern tins can be re-used by adding candles or lights inside that shine through the cut-outs for a stunning projector effect. Take a look at the gorgeous lantern tins we created with Liz Earle here.
The simple addition of a coin slot turns a tin into a money-box, to be filled with coins (real or made of chocolate!).
